Winemaking agents in rosé sparkling wines: evolution of phenolic composition and stability of tannins
Rosé sparkling wines require special elaboration methods that ensure their quality and color stability during aging in bottle. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of the addition of different concentrations of gum arabic and tannin in Brazilian rosé sparkling wines elaborated by the Traditional method (cv. Cabernet Sauvignon) and their impact on the phenolic composition during aging in bottle.
Non-traditional grape variety for elaboration of sparkling wines: phenolic evolution during aging on lees
The use of non-traditional grape varieties for elaboration of sparkling wines is a challenge for the winemaking industry. The Goethe variety stands out as being a typical cultivar of the Urussanga Region in the south of Santa Catarina State, Brazil, where most of its production is directed to the elaboration of still wines.
Selection of native yeast of Calchaqui Salteño Valley for Torrontes wine
The Torrontés Riojano is an emblematic variety in the Calchaquí Salteño Valley. The obtaining of selected native yeasts is a tool of differentiation of the wines, highlighting unique characteristics of the terroir. Native yeasts were isolated from spontaneous fermentations of Torrontés grapes harvested in nine zones of the Valley. We obtained 45 isolates.
Influence of the storage condition on physicochemical characteristics of red wines from São Francisco Valley, Brazil
In the São Francisco Valley, Northeast of Brazil, tropical wines have been produced thirty years ago. Vines can produce twice a year and wine stability can change according to the harvest date. Normally wines elaborated from grapes harvested between November-December have a fast evolution, while wines from grapes harvested between June-July can have greater stability.
Varietal grapes juice a productive choice for the development and environmental protection of marginal wine-growing areas
Rosciola is an antique red grape variety in the Lazio region (Italy) in the area between the Simbruini mountains and the high valley of Aniene. The name “Rosciola” is probably due to the light red color that the skin berries have to maturity. The oenological aspect was observed and evaluated over various vintages (Ciolfi G. et al., 2009).
Malbec responses to light quantity and quality
Plant acclimation to the light environment involves changes in plant morphology, carbon- and water-physiology, yield and quality of harvestable organs.
From science to farmers: VITIROOT shiny app for grapevine rootstock recommendation
The choice of grapevine rootstock remains a critical decision in vineyard establishment, as it is heavily influenced by a complex interplay of factors, including agronomic needs, productivity desires, soil type, climate variability, vine resilience, and adaptability to specific environmental conditions and enological goals.
Assessment of Viticultural Bioclimatic Indices across contrasting microclimates on Madeira Island
Viticulture in insular and mountainous environments is particularly sensitive to climate variability due to strong topographic constraints and pronounced microclimatic gradients.
Dating of old vineyards: A multidisciplinary, non-invasive approach for age validation developed in Campo de Borja (Spain)
The present study aims to develop a multidisciplinary method capable of estimating the age of vineyards within the Protected Designation of Origin (P.D.O.) Campo de Borja in a probabilistic manner.
Investigating impact of terroir on sensory perception of wines made from hybrid grape cultivar ‘Marquette’
In this study we investigated the impact of geography, soil type, and harvest date on grape quality traits (e.g., cluster development, cluster architecture, fruit quality, and wine quality).
Microclimatic effects of tree-based infrastructures in vineyards: A multisource approach combining remote sensing and in situ measurements
Vineyards are particularly sensitive to climatic extremes, especially heatwaves and frost events, whose frequency and intensity are increasing.
High-resolution agroclimatic projections for assessing climate change impacts on French viticulture for the 2030, 2040, and 2050 horizons
Agriculture is extremely vulnerable to climate change. Increases in air temperature, altered rainfall patterns, and more frequent extreme events are key climate impacts influencing crop yields, safety, and quality.
Classic versus integral mean temperature calculations in the estimation of the Winkler index
The use of bioclimatic indexes is a common practice to evaluate the suitability of regions for specific crops or cultivars, particularly in viticulture.
Spatial analysis of wine Protected Designation of Origin areas in France
One concrete manifestation of the concept of terroir is the identification of Geographical Indications, whose Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) is based on strict geographical boundaries and binding, controlled production rules.
A Pilot Network of experimental vineyards in Valle d’Itria: An innovative participatory research infrastructure for climate monitoring and viticultural demonstration
The viticultural landscape of Valle d’Itria (Apulia, Southern Italy), historically characterized by high-biodiversity native white varieties and dry-stone architecture, including the typical «Trulli», has suffered a drastic reduction over the last century.
A system for real-time spore monitoring that can be expanded by the user to detect additional sporangia
Fungal diseases such as downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) have a negative impact on grapevine yield.
The first attempt of terroir zoning from geological map: Henri Coquand and the settlement of Cognac crus in the mid-19th century
The business of Cognac brandy has always used “Crus” as quality brands. Georges de Salignac took the initiative of definition and cartography of the different “Crus” near 1850, way before settlement of the appellation.
Pedological characterization of old mountain geomorphological surfaces in Castilla-La Mancha (Spain) and their potential for sustainable viticulture
The “rañas and rañizos” are Plio-Quaternary landform typical of the Iberan Penisula on which singular soil develops and evolve that are considered unique in Europe (Espejo, 1987; Martín-Serrano, 1991).
Model comparison and parametrization strategies for accurate RGB‑Based grapevine phenology classification
Accurate monitoring of grapevine phenology is essential for vineyard management and for understanding seasonal responses to climate variability (Reis et al., 2020).
Geostatistical modelling of climate parameters as a first step in aiding producers determine suitable mitigation strategies in Langhe growing region
Introduction: Meso-climatic variation increases in hilly terrain, influenced by changes in elevation, slope gradient and slope aspect (Ferretti, 2021).
